Brother, can you spare some time...?

As we plan the revolution to take back America one blog at a time, there are still things we can do today to ease the suffering of our fellow Americans in the Gulf region.

Action #1
This Sunday at 12 noon Brother Rob Thurman and this bitch will be volunteering at the Deer Creek Shopping center (between Big Bend and Laclede Station Rd.) A Habitat for Humanity St. Louis volunteer is organizing a health kit and flood bucket drive. They need help putting the essential items together into the kit.

If you would like to participate, this volunteer effort will be taking place Saturday 9/3 and Sunday 9/4 from 9am-9pm. They are organizing 2-hour shifts.

Again, the United Church of Bitchitude and Latter Day Drunks will be there from 12N-1pm then we are off to the Greek Festival at 2pm.

Simply contact Dale Chambers at c. 314-724-1905 to get set up!

Action #2
Freddie’s on Manchester has organized a series of fundraisers for the Red Cross. A bitch was told that they are taking place on Mondays and Wednesdays. So, join the United Church of Bitchitude and Latter Day Drunks at Freddie’s 4112 Manchester Ave. Wednesday September 7th anytime after 6:30pm for vodka crans or diet cokes (Brother Rob) and some fundraising with the gays. Go on with your bad selves Freddie’s!

Revolution requires action and words…

We are fine here. My brother is settling in to both his job and to living here with us. My friend and her daughter are trying to make school and living arrangements. They may stay here with us as well.

At this point we don't need anything but there are so many others who do. Just knowing that you guys are working to get help to those truly in need brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you, ABB. Thank you, Brother Rob. Thanks to all of you.

I would like to make a statement about the American Red Cross. As an ex-employee, I would like to say that the Red Cross is a business. You donate blood, they sell it for a 400$/unit profit. The reason they go to 'disasters' it to sell their product...your blood. The Red Cross also gets the benefit of having people donate MORE blood in disasters to up their profits. THEY ALSO get support from the government for going to disasters. So, they make money money money (not to mention your MONETARY donations).

It's much like Walmart. Walmart donates 1.5million. They get the tax break then, they get 'the people' to buy more products to donate. They WIN.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do in this situation, but realize, disaster means money for these "Corporations."

I think donating TIME, EFFORT, STRENGTH and EMOTIONAL SUPPORT to the affected people is a better way to go.

Peace and solidarity!
